I was shooting pictures with my camera at a concert. I used the zoom feture to zoom in, and it caused a zoom error in the camera. I turned the camera off to reboot it, but the lens stayed out. When I tried to turn the camera back on, the camera came on, but the screen went black. I tried taking the battery out, and put it back in some time later (maybe 30 min.-1 hr.). This did not fix the problem, and I don't know what else to do. How do I fix this?

Hi,
I purchased a replacement LCD screen for my SD3500 from Rongstar DigitalInc. Since I've learned they do not have a good reputation and to make matters worse the LCD screen will not function properly. It seems to light a bit and the "touch" seems to cause camera to beep as if the touch screen were working, but no images or "scene to take" is viualized ion the screen. As I said only a faint lighting ( appears to be black as if no light coming off it) . Help!

I have a Canon PowerShot S5 IS, and a few months ago I started getting a lense error whenever I went into phototaking mode. Every once-in-a-while when I went into the "view pictures" mode, the lense would retract itself, but when I tried to take pictures again, the lense would go out and "lense error. restart camera" would appear on the screen. A few weeks ago I finally got my camera fixed at a shop. I got the camera back and used it for about a week, now the same problem is happening. I've

Zoom Error While taking a picture of my daughter at Disneyland, I accidently dropped my camera, while in picture mode. It must have been about a 3 foot fall. It landed on the extended lense causing it to disalign itself. I attempted to push lens back into it's proper alignment. Now that I turn on the camera, I automatically get a "Zoom Error" fault in the LCD screen. Is it possible for me to fix it or what do you suggest? Thank you for your time and efforts..... Sincerely Alex Z.

Lens unit has to come out to see whether the problem can be sorted out without spares going in. But unfortunately you have to go from the back on this model which means disconnecting and removing all 3 pc boards and the LCD screen and then loosening ...

Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or ...

My dimage z3 takes lovely photos, which appear on screen, only to disappear after a second with a 'system error' message.
When I look at the 'viewing photos' option, a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside, appears. So my photos are on the camera, but inaccessible.
I have had it fixed under warranty once for the same problem, but that has now expired. It is over 5 years old now

My canon EOS 100D digital SLR is saying 'card write protected' when ever I turn it on. It just started to appear on my screen for no apparent reason one day and it won't let me take pictures anymore. It's not the card it's the camera, I have tried sliding the switch on the side of the memory card and even tried new cards in my camera but it happens with every card I insert. I have googled the problem and can't find any solution to fix the problem. Would be very grateful if you could help at all

I have a Olympus X-560WP & when I turned it on, the screen appears with a P in the left corner, a red flash symbol in the right corner & it says on the bottom +1.0 1/30 F3.7.
It isn't allowing me to use any of the buttons on the side or change any of the settings. I thought if I reset the camera it would fix the problem but it won't allow me to do that either. I'm on holidays at the moment & haven't seen any camera repair shops so I can't even take it there.

Screen Broken Hi, I had my Samsung l700 camera in my back pocket in a protective case yet the screen somehow broke on the inside and all I see is a black screen with two lines across it when i turn on my camera. The camerea can no longer take pics. They all turn out blurry. Is there a way I can fix this without having to can a new screen and if not where can I order a screen or get my camera fixed online.

HiWe can get you the LCD or do the repair for you if you prefer... though if the pictures are blurry that has to do with the lens not the LCD.When you take a picture with the LCD are you allowing the camera to focus before pre ...

White screen Hello, I have a Fuji S5000 Digital Camera that has never caused me any
problems. I was using both the movie and photo functions this afternoon
when, all of a sudden, the EVF/LCD screen turned white. I have removed
the batteries, turned the camera on and off and have reviewed the
troubleshooting information in my manual. At this point, when the
camera is turned on, all I see is a white screen. If I try to take a
photo, the camera will take a picure, but when I go into playback

Olympus X-42 Camera - the screen has gone white (with a few thin green/purple vertical lines). When I switch on the camera the screen is white, there is no picture or menu displayed. I have checked by plugging it into the tv, and it takes pictures and goes into menus fine - it just doesn't display anything on camera screen. I have only had the camera for a week, and have not stored it anywhere humid. Is there anything I can do to fix, or do I just have to take it to get repaired?

There doesn't appear to be a solution. I have had to send mine off to be repaired. They don't provide a camera case but it is a very necessary piece of aquipment. I was told that the screen had been pressed. I can only think that this occured when tr ...

Broken screen I had the camera in my pocket and I bumped into a bench as I was walking by and the screen on the camera no longer works, it lights up, but only shows up white, It still takes a good picture, cause when I view my camera card, the pictures are there, Only I can't see anything on the screen when I take the picture, So I have to guess when I shoot a picture, Can I replace the screen myself? Where can I buy one? and is it fixable?

If otherwise the camera is taking pictures and working OK, then we can assume that the lens mecchanism has jammed in and needs a mechanical reset. Use good tools to remove carefully. Keep the entire ecrew and remove , make notes of the screw, positio ...
